Everything was so good. We were happy to try somewhere new. Great service and great food. What more can you ask for? It's a far drive for us but we will be back. Thanks Crafty Crab!

They definitely deliver on quality food. It wasn't a long wait because me and my friends came in right before the rush. Our waitress was great. She frequently visited our table but not overbearingly. The food speaks for itself. You won't be disappointed with this location.

Celebrated my sister birthday, & from the waiters to the food and atmosphere was a 10!!

This restaurant does not disappoint! The food, service, and atmosphere are spot on!

I want to give a special shout out to the staff and management team for sending me and my fiance to crab heaven... First time eating at this establishment and we were hooked... The friendly hostess who sat us to the amazing Amilyn who served us made our experience unforgettable... Amilyn explained the menu and how the food was prepared and assured us that we would not make a bad choice, inher words... THE MENU IS DELICIOUS... We had the famous crab boil and the blackened salmon with broccoli and potatoes... while waiting for our meal we scoured the facility and loved the props in the restaurant and saw all of the names who went to crab heaven... Our meals came out and boom came to the plate into our taste buds... We had a two hour drive home to Lake Placid in a food coma... And now we're planning our next trip...

Absolutely loved it! We got the largest seafood boil. Replaced the crayfish with ship. It was SO DELICIOUS, the atmosphere and vibe is also on point!!!

Second time enjoying this restaurant. We started with steamed oysters with the boom seasoning medium heat and they were delicious. We do love the purity of the plain raw oysters as well. We then had the lobster, crab, shrimp, corn, potato and egg boil also with the boom seasoning and medium heat. Prepare to get very very messy because this is a dig in with your hands kind of meal experience. We saw one dinner bring from her purse actual rubber gloves to eat and thought that was a pro move for sure . The food is fresh, well seasoned and we recommend it if you are in the area.

Their Cajun boil (medium) was off the chain! So good! Daughter ate the chicken tenders without complaint. Seafood boils were amazing. Food was so good I forgot to take pictures. We'll be back for sure! Update: Went back two days later it was so good! A year later and still delicious!
